Sorrry, I've forgotten to write this:
primary device: Alps BSRV2
secondary device: STV0299 (a Nexus-s rev. 2.1)

How? Simply copy the stv0299.c from dvb-driver to linux/... directory
of the dvb-kernel-driver?

I've read sth in the ML-archive, that the Grundig-frontend had a similar
problem. While reloading that frontend the chip/card/whatever is
powered down and so can't initialize while insmoding. 
Is this behaviour in all frontends? (in the dvb-kernel-tree)
